AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
306 PM MDT SAT OCT 11 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
AS ANOTHER DISTURBANCE ALOFT MOVES INTO NEW MEXICO...ADDITIONAL
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE TAKEN SHAPE THIS AFTERNOON...MOSTLY
IN WEST CENTRAL TO SOUTHWESTERN SECTIONS OF THE STATE. THESE
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL DRIFT SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY AND ADJACENT AREAS THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. SKIES WILL
THEN CLEAR OVERNIGHT. A WINDY DAY WILL BE OBSERVED ON SUNDAY AS A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DIVES OUT OF THE CANADIAN ROCKIES AND INTO THE
SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS. SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL IMPACT NORTH
CENTRAL TO NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO LATE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT
WHILE COLDER AIR SPILLS INTO THE STATE. A CHILLY MORNING ON MONDAY
WILL BE FOLLOWED BY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES DURING THE DAYTIME
MONDAY WITH ANOTHER CHILLY NIGHT THEREAFTER. THE WEATHER PATTERN
THEN TURNS DRY AND WARM WITH TRANQUIL CONDITIONS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
SHORT WAVE TROUGH AXIS IS ENCROACHING UPON NM...AND SUFFICIENT
INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE HAVE BEEN PRESENT FOR THE INITIATION OF
STORMS IN WEST CENTRAL TO SOUTHWESTERN PARTS OF THE STATE. THESE
WILL NOT LIKELY SURVIVE LONG AFTER DARK...SO POPS AFTER MIDNIGHT
HAVE BEEN LEFT AT ZERO.

MORE VIGOROUS LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL TAKE SHAPE INTO SUNDAY AS
STOUT JET DIGS ON THE BACK SIDE OF IT. THIS WILL USHER A POTENT
VORTICITY LOBE INTO NORTHERN NM BY LATE SUNDAY WHILE A PRONOUNCED
GRADIENT...BOTH ALOFT AND AT THE SURFACE...BECOME JUXTAPOSED OVER
THE STATE. STRONGEST WINDS WILL FIRST HIT THE NORTHERN HIGH
TERRAIN EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...GRADUALLY MIXING INTO THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS OF THE SAN JUAN BASIN AND LATER SPREADING INTO THE
CENTRAL AREAS NEAR THE ABQ AND SANTA FE METROS AS FRONT SWEEPS IN.
HAVE GONE AHEAD AND HOISTED A WIND ADVISORY DUE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE
IN WIDESPREAD GUSTS OF 45 TO 50 MPH. SOME AREAS IN NORTHEASTERN NM
MAY NEED TO BE ADDED/EXTENDED WHEN THE BACK DOOR SEGMENT OF THE
FRONT ARRIVES SUNDAY EVENING...BUT THERE IS STILL A COUPLE OF
SHIFTS BEFORE THIS NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED. ANOTHER CONCERN WILL BE
THE NEED FOR A FREEZE WARNING SUNDAY NIGHT. HAVE OPTED TO KEEP THE
NON-PRECIP STATEMENT SIMPLIFIED...AND WILL WORRY ABOUT ISSUING ANY
FREEZE WARNINGS TOMORROW AFTERNOON. A FEW INCHES OF FRESH SNOW
WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE ON ISOLATED PEAKS IN THE NORTHERN SANGRES
ABOVE 9000 FEET...BUT COVERAGE WILL LIKELY BE TOO MINIMAL FOR AN
WINTER WX ADVISORY.

LOOK FOR A RAPID CLEARING ON MONDAY...BUT TEMPERATURES WILL BE 5
TO 10 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE AREA WIDE IN THE WAKE OF SUNDAY'S
FRONT. WINDS WILL SEE A NOTABLE DECREASE IN SPEED AS WELL.
TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE EVEN COLDER ON MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY
MORNING DUE TO DECREASING WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES...A RECIPE FOR
OPTIMAL RADIATIONAL COOLING. POTENTIALLY MORE FREEZE WARNINGS WILL
BE NEEDED IN THE UPPER RIO GRANDE AND NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS.

TUESDAY WILL OBSERVE A CONSPICUOUS WARM-UP OF 8 TO 15 DEGREES WITH
MOST ALL LOCATIONS GETTING BACK ABOVE AVERAGE. A CLOUDLESS SKY
WILL ALSO COMPLEMENT THE RISING PRESSURE HEIGHTS BENEATH THE
BUILDING RIDGE AXIS. FOR WEDNESDAY...AN INCREASED SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW APPEARS LIKELY...BUT STILL DRY CONDITIONS ALOFT AND UPSTREAM.
NOT UNTIL SATURDAY OF NEXT WEEKEND DOES THERE LOOK TO BE ANY
POTENTIAL FOR INCREASE IN CLOUDS/MOISTURE FROM A PACIFIC TROUGH.

52

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE TO THE WIND FORECAST. SUNDAY AFTERNOON
LOOKS TO BE QUITE WINDY MOST AREAS. LOCALIZED RED FLAG CONDITIONS
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NE HIGHLANDS AND PLAINS. DID LOWER DEWPOINTS
THUS HUMIDITY READINGS DOWN A BIT MORE FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK THANKS
TO A STRONG MID LEVEL DRY INTRUSION. WENT BELOW MODEL GUIDANCE.
VENTILATION REMAINS A CONCERN EARLY NEXT WEEK DUE TO RIDGING BUT
VENT RATES HAVE IMPROVED MORE FOR WEDNESDAY AS THE RIDGE BREAKS
DOWN SOME. SOME UNCERTAINTY IN VENTILATION LATE NEXT WEEK DUE TO
POSSIBLE RIDGING BUT SUSPECT THE MODELS WILL IMPROVE VENT RATES AS
WE GET CLOSER TO THE PERIOD.

PACIFIC DISTURBANCE WILL QUICKLY MOVE OF THE AREA THE REST OF TODAY
INTO TONIGHT. ISOLATED WETTING THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED WITH HIT
AND MISS MEASURABLE RAIN SHOWERS. HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE ON THE
HIGHER SIDE TODAY.

STILL LOOKING SOLID FOR A SIGNIFICANT AUTUMN WIND EVENT ON SUNDAY.
THE WINDS ALOFT WILL BE INCREASING TONIGHT AND CONTINUE TO INCREASE
AND PEAK SUNDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO STRONG
WIND FLOWS AT THE SURFACE. AT THE SAME TIME HUMIDITY READINGS WILL
LOWER AND READINGS WILL FLIRT AROUND 15 PCT ACROSS THE THE NORTHEAST
HIGHLANDS AND EASTERN PLAINS DURING THE PEAK HEATING PERIOD. PERHAPS
EVEN THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY. THIS WILL BE COMBINED WITH
UNUSUALLY HIGH MIXING HEIGHTS...HAINES 4/5 VALUES AND ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. LOOKING AT LOCALIZED RED FLAG CONDITIONS FOR A HOUR OR
TWO ACROSS THE NORTHEAST HALF. PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE LIMITED TO
THE NORTHEAST THIRD AS THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS IN FROM THE NORTH LATE
SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. THE BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL PROVIDE A
RIBBON OF STRONG NORTHERLY WIND AS WELL.

COOLER TEMPERATURES STILL EXPECTED FOR MONDAY WHILE A MID LEVEL DRY
INTRUSION PUSHES IN FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH
SHORTWAVE RIDGING. VENTILATION RATES AND MIXING HEIGHTS WILL LOWER
AS A RESULT OF THIS RIDGE. LOOKING AT SPOTTY POOR VENT RATES ACROSS
THE WESTERN MTNS AND WITHIN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY MONDAY. WARMER
TUESDAY AS AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WARM BACK TO A FEW DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL. DESPITE THE WARMING TREND A FAIRLY STRONG INVERSION
ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIDGE WILL BE FOUND OVERHEAD THUS EVEN LOWER
MIXING HEIGHTS. TUESDAY MORNING ALSO LOOKS TO BE PRETTY COOL WITH
SOME FREEZING TEMPERATURES WITHIN PORTIONS OF THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY...ESTANCIA BASIN AND MOUNTAINS. THIS IS RESULT OF CLEARING
SKIES...LOWERING SURFACE DEWPOINTS AND A STRENGTHENING RADIATION
INVERSION. AT THIS JUNCTURE...VENT RATES LOOK TO BE THE LOWEST ON
TUESDAY AREAWIDE.

LONG RANGE MODELS SUCH AS THE GFS/ECMWF STILL SHOW THE RIDGE
FLATTENING SOME MIDWEEK BUT COULD BUILD BACK OVER THE AREA LATE
WEEK. TOO EARLY TO SAY RIGHT NOW BUT VENTILATION RATES SHOULD
IMPROVE WEDNESDAY. SUSPECT THE MODELS WILL INCREASE VENT RATES LATE
NEXT WEEK FROM THE CURRENT PROJECTIONS BUT ONLY MODERATELY CONFIDENT
ABOUT THAT. WILL BE WATCHING A PACIFIC DISTURBANCE TRYING TO IMPACT
THE AREA BY NEXT WEEKEND. BOTH GFS/ECMWF SHOW A WEAK DISTURBANCE
THAT ORIGINALLY GETS CUT OFF FROM THE MEAN JET FLOW THIS WEEK GET
ABSORBED BACK INTO THE FLOW AND MOVE IT OVER THE STATE. HARD TO SAY
HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION WOULD COME WITH THAT. FIGURE ON THE DRIER
TREND AT THIS TIME.

50

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
SCT SH AND ISOLD TS WILL BREAK OUT OVER WESTERN/CENTRAL PORTIONS
OF THE FORECAST AREA AND IMPACT SOME OF THE TERMINAL SITES THROUGH
MID/LATE EVENING. ABQ/AEG APPEAR TO HAVE THE BEST CHANCE AT
IMPACTS. WENT WITH TEMPO SH BTWN 22Z TO 2Z AND VCSH PRIOR AND
AFTER THOSE TIME PERIODS. CANT RULE OUT TS IMPACTS AS WELL. WENT
WITH VCSH AT A FEW OTHER LOCATIONS. THEN MAIN HAZARD WILL BE
INCREASING WINDS DURING THE DAY PERIOD ON SUNDAY.
